Susan Boyle can be viewed as a hero of our time. She became a phenomenon after she appeared on “Britain`s Got Talent” where she won all the favors of the public and the jury as well. She won the competition with her tremendous talent and angelic voice. Several years after her win at the competition, she is still the inspiration for many people.
We presume that there are two reasons for that. Firstly, she proved that it is never late to become a successful person, and the second and more important one is that she stayed true to herself even after her tremendous win. We can say that the second reason is a more important one and won over the hearts of ordinary people. We are going to present you with Susan Boyle`s lesser-known bio and her net worth.
Personal Life
She was born in a small-town Blackburn in West Lothian, Scotland, on the first of April 1961. When she was younger, she experienced bullying. Also, at her young age, she was diagnosed with a learning disability, which was attributed to the late maternal age of her mother, which gave birth to Susan when she was forty-five years old. This diagnosis was a wrong one, Susan Boyle was diagnosed with Asperger`s disorder in 2012, and she found out that she had exceptionally high IQ.
Career
Even before she appeared on “Britain`s Got Talent”, she was a singer. She participated in choirs that were organized by the Roman Catholic Church, and many other choirs during her childhood. Her parents raised her to be part of the Catholic Church. Her first professional appearance was in the nineties when she appeared on a TV show called “My Kind of People” and performed “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”.
She even had a demo album, which consists of three songs, and she participated in various small singing festivals and competitions. On several occasions, she credited her mother for her success. Her mother was the person who persuaded her to enlist on “Britain`s Got Talent”, where she won the competition, and hearts of all the viewers.
As we said, people love her because of her overnight success, and they are feeling her as one of their own. Her fate was changed when she appeared on “Britain`s Got Talent” on the eleventh of April 2009. She stepped up and sang a song from Les Misérables called “I Dreamed a Dream” and did a wonderful job. One of the judges even called her appearance a wake-up call to all the people that are looking on people with prejudices based on their physical appearance.
Net Worth
After she won the “Britain`s Got Talent”, she had the chance of working on her own musical career. She finished working on her first album only six months after the end of the competition. Several years later, she released several more albums. Also, she was a part of several documentaries about her life. Today, she is looking happier than she ever was in her life. Her net worth is around $40 million. She decided to change her life as of the whole. She lost a significant amount of weight in order to get better control of her diabetes.
